    Question What To Do About a Handicap Parking Ticket

    Last month, I went to my car in the morning to realize there was a ticket. This is in New Jersey. It was a parking ticket for parking in a handicapped spot. The night before, my mother had driven my car, and forgot to put her handicapp parking decal on my car. She does have a handicapp decal, but she just forgot to put it on my car. The thing is that the ticket states the fine is for $276 dollars. On the sign in front of the parking spot, it states that the fine for 1st offense is $100. I called the court, and the secretary told me that they changed the laws, and that those signs havent been replaced yet. She said I have to make acourt appearance, and to bring my mother with her handicapp information. She says she doesnt know what they'll do, but her advise was to do that. Will i have to pay, even though my motheris dsiabled? Even if i do have to pay, should i have to pay the huge fine of $276 even though the sign stated $100 for 1st offense. It is my first offense. What should i do, Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks:

    You'll either be found guilty or innocent. PC has dictated that far more parking spaces than necessary or reasonable are dedicated for handicapped parking and the fines also reflect the militancy associated with the minority supporting all of the expensive requirements. Nothing can be done about that.

    However, I think you'll do fine in court as long as your story is true.....but don't forget to take Mom along!!
